[album:From a Basement on the Hill]
[00:00]
[01:48.22] The King's crossing was the main attraction
[01:51.49] Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
[01:55.29] The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
[01:59.36] Whiskey works better than beer
[02:02.92] The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
[02:06.94] And nobody gets a reprieve
[02:10.80] And every wave is tidal
[02:13.33] If you hang around you're going to get wet
[02:18.83] I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
[02:26.41] All you can do now is watch the shells
[02:30.04] The game looks easy that's why it sells
[02:34.01] Frustrated fireworks inside your head
[02:37.26] Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
[02:41.63] The method acting that pays my bills
[02:45.15] Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
[02:48.87] I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
[02:52.99] And I get my check from the trash treasury
[02:56.61] Because I took my own insides out
[03:01.13] It don't matter cause I have no sex life
[03:04.99] And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife
[03:09.01] I've seen the movie
[03:10.90] And I know what happens
[03:16.29] It's Christmas time
[03:18.43] And the needles on the tree
[03:20.62] A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
[03:24.44] His voice is overwhelming
[03:26.28] But his speech is slurred
[03:28.20] And I only understand every other word
[03:32.18] Open your parachute and grab your gun
[03:35.44] Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
[03:40.01] Read the part and we turn out fine
[03:43.26] It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
[03:47.12]
[03:49.67] I'm going on a date
[03:50.99] With a rich white lady
[03:53.60] Ain't life great?
[03:55.88] Gi'me one good reason not to do it
[03:58.08] (Cause I love you)
[03:59.24] So do it
[04:01.24]
[04:15.44] This is the place where time reverses
[04:19.04] And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
[04:23.26] Instruments shine on a silver tray
[04:26.67] Don't let me get carried away
[04:30.46] Don't let me get carried away
[04:34.43] Don't let me be carried away
